Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Han Chunyan said mysteriously.

"Let me tell you, that young man doesn't look any older than Xiaodang, but he seems to be quite nice to Xiaodang. When they were eating, he kept picking up food for Xiaodang."

Li Jianjun asked.

"Is it obvious? Can you tell at a glance that he's younger than Xiaodang?"

Han Chunyan thought about it.

"It's OK. He just looks a little smaller than Xiaodang. It might be because of his face shape. Maybe he's the same age as Xiaodang. Huairu said he would ask Xiaodang tonight. We'll know tomorrow."

Li Jianjun smiled.

"Well, now we feel relieved. Let's eat. Qiqi is hungry."

Qiqi immediately covered her stomach.

"I'm hungry."

Han Chunyan laughed and picked her up.

"Okay, our Qiqi is hungry, eat more later, Chunming is eating."

Sitting at the dinner table, Li Jianjun asked.

"Chunming, are you here for something? Tell me, what is it?"

Han Chunyan also looked at Han Chunming with some curiosity.

Han Chunming said.

"Xiao Guan came to me today and said that the old man was dying. I went to see him and he was indeed on his last legs."

Han Chunyan put down her chopsticks and glared at Han Chunming.

"Why did you go to see him? Didn't you cut off all ties?"

Li Jianjun patted her hands.

"Let Chunming finish what he is saying. Don't interrupt him. Chunming, please continue."

Han Chunming felt a little numb when Han Chunyan looked at him, and his childhood memories began to revive, but he still spoke with gritted teeth.

"Brother-in-law, the old man said he wanted to live in the courtyard. It's not his family who asked me to ask you. He said it's okay to rent it, and he will clean it up afterwards."

Han Chunyan smiled.

"Chunming, do you think our family needs this little money? I think you promised the Guan family, right?"

Han Chunming nodded.

"I didn't completely agree. I just said I'd give it a try. Brother-in-law, sister, after all, he watched me grow up and taught me many skills. I've called him master for so many years. Although we haven't been in touch in the past few years, I've repaid this last bit of master-disciple relationship."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"It's understandable. Old people always want to return to their roots. I won't lend my courtyard to the Guan family."

Han Chunming was a little disappointed, but didn't say anything. It belonged to others and if they didn't want to lend it to him, what could he do?

Looking at Han Chunming's expression, Li Jianjun smiled.

"But I'll lend it to you."

Han Chunming was stunned for a moment, then expressed gratitude.

"Thank you brother-in-law, thank you brother-in-law."

Li Jianjun waved his hand.

"I don't want the rent or anything like that. I don't need that, but I have a condition."

Han Chunming immediately assured.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. Just ask me. I will never refuse as long as I can do it."

Li Jianjun nodded.

"It is necessary to clean up after use. Also, the furniture inside cannot be damaged. You know the value of those things. I only recognize you, Han Chunming. Do you understand?"

Han Chunming immediately assured.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. I won't make any mistakes. I promise."

Li Jianjun walked into the room, took out the key and handed it to Han Chunming.

"Here are the keys. Take them after dinner and bring them back to me when you're done."

Han Chunming put the key into his bag and started eating happily. At this moment, he felt that the food tasted even better.

Han Chunyan didn't say anything about the matter decided by Li Jianjun.

After dinner, Han Chunming drove to find Xiaotian and asked her to serve Grandpa Guan for the last time.

Oda had some feelings for the old man, so he agreed without hesitation.

Then Han Chunyan found Hou Polan again and told him what had happened.

"Let's go there for dinner tomorrow night. Just consider it as sending the old man off."

The ragged Hou sighed.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll go."

Han Chunming returned home only after the necessary notifications had been given.

As soon as he entered the door, Cai Xiaoli and the old lady were sitting in the living room waiting for him.

"Why are you back so late?"

Han Chunming did not hide anything and told her about Uncle Guan and borrowing the house, then looked at the old lady nervously.

Although the old lady looked unhappy, she did not object in the end.

"Why are you looking at me? Would I bother with someone who is leaving?"

As soon as the old lady said this, Han Chunming felt relieved instantly.

"Mom, you are so generous."

The old lady snorted coldly.

"What's so magnanimous about that? I'm telling you, I haven't been feeling well these past two days. Don't tell me if there's anything wrong. I just want to stay quiet."

After saying that, the old lady got up and went back to her room.

Cai Xiaoli stood up and wanted to help, but the old lady refused, so she had to look back at Han Chunming.

Han Chunming sighed.

"It's good enough for the old lady to do this. I'll spend more time with her after I send the old man off."

Cai Xiaoli nodded.

Early the next morning, Han Chunming did not go to work, but instead found a few people to clean the yard. Except for him and Cai Xiaoli, no one from the Han family came to help, and he expressed his understanding.

It took more than two hours to sweep, mop and wash. After cleaning, Han Chunming went to Guan's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Guan's father came up to him immediately, still at the same position.

"Chunming, how is it?"

Han Chunming nodded.

"It's done. Xiaoli and I have already cleaned up this morning. We are coming to pick up the old man now."

Father Guan expressed gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you. I will tell the old man the good news right away."

After saying that, he hurried to find the old man.

Han Chunming followed behind and was stopped by Guan Xiaoguan.

Guan Xiaoguan said embarrassedly.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Han Chunming waved his hand.

"It's all in the past, why are you still talking about this? Let's go."

After entering the door, Guan's father had already helped the old man up.

"Dad, Chunming has already done it, and now he is here to pick you up."

The old man looked at Han Chunming, wanting to get a definite answer from him.

Han Chunming nodded.

"Master, I'm here to take you back."

The old man immediately burst into tears and said excitedly.

"Thank you, thank you."

Han Chunming stepped forward and supported the old man.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

After taking two steps, the old man turned around and said.

"Little lazy cat, take grandpa's box."

Guan Xiaoguan responded.

"Got it, Grandpa. I'll take it. Don't worry."

The old man nodded and then looked at Han Chunming.

"Where are the children?"

Han Chunming said.

"They are waiting for you at home. You will see them when you get home."

The old man smiled.

"Okay, let's go home, let's go home."

When they arrived at the door, the old man didn't want to take Guan Xiaoguan's car and insisted on taking Han Chunming's car. There was no way, now he had to listen to the old man in everything.

So the old man sat in Han Chunming's passenger seat, holding a box in his hand.

Guan's parents don't know how to drive. They went abroad in their early years. They can't drive on the left side of the road in China, so Guan Xiaoguan has to drive.

Han Chunming was worried about the old man's health, so he didn't drive fast.
